If there’s one thing we don’t like to do here at Buy Our Honeymoon, it’s sit still. We’re always making small changes and improvements to the site, even if it’s just to the systems we use internally to help us with customer or guest enquiries.

Unusual and wonderful registry gifts
22 June 2011 – 1:08 pm
Earlier this month, a CNN article on honeymoon registries recommended that couples using a service such as ours should “avoid extensive itemization” — wow did that get us thinking, because we couldn’t disagree more! We think it’s important to break your gifts down into “guest-sized chunks”. We find that guests engage with detailed, varied registries [...]
Improvements to bank transfer registries
17 May 2011 – 8:10 pm
With Buy Our Honeymoon, you can link your honeymoon registry to your PayPal account, so that your guests can make immediate payment for their gifts using their credit or debit card.

Use Swedish on your multilingual wedding gift list
10 March 2011 – 12:10 pm
Towards the end of last year, we launched a new feature where you can display your honeymoon gift list in more than one language. This is brilliant for couples with international family and friends: your wedding guests can view, reserve and pay for items on your registry wherever they live, and our service supports multiple [...]
Top tips for arranging your wedding seating plan
24 February 2011 – 5:13 pm
On Twitter, we noticed that Adam from the awesome TopTablePlanner.com has been posting a set of tips for putting together your wedding table plan, so we asked him if he wouldn’t mind writing a guest blog post for us collecting some of that wisdom together in one place. Adam very kindly agreed, so here’s the [...]

Here at Buy Our Honeymoon, we’re constantly making small adjustments and improvements to our service, to try to provide the best wedding list service we possibly can. Some of these — such as our recent multilingual registry feature — deserve a full blog post all of their own. Others are smaller, incremental improvements and changes, [...]
Hiding your registry from Google
26 November 2010 – 12:24 pm
As part of our honeymoon wedding list service, we try to make sure that the introductory page of your registry can be found in Google, Yahoo and Bing. This is because many wedding guests expect to be able to get to a couple’s wedding list by entering its web address into their favourite search engine. [...]
